Sometimes, once separated, it may be difficult to imagine again. Since the 1950s, for historical reasons, Chinese mainland and Taiwan, which are separated by a strait, have been separated and isolated for more than thirty years. Some people on both sides of the strait, separated from their relatives, waited for more than thirty years before they received news from their relatives on the other side of the strait and looked forward to the opportunity to reunite again.
In 1992, Fu Ya, the widow of General Chen Geng, who was seventy-four years old, said, "I want to go to Taiwan once, despite her serious illness." "Fu Ya wants to go to Taiwan, who is he going to visit?"
1. General Chen Geng
General Chen Geng was a very great revolutionary hero. In 1903, Chen Geng was born in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province. The Chen family is a family of warriors. Chen Geng's grandfather was a famous general in the Xiang Army. Therefore, Chen Geng's body also inherited the blood and fighting spirit unique to soldiers.
When Chen Geng was six years old, his family sent him to a private school to receive cultural education. In 1915, at the age of twelve, Chen Geng entered the higher primary school. According to the parents' plan, they hope that after their son graduates, he will become a teacher who teaches and educates people. Perhaps, in a stable and peaceful social environment, Chen Geng will follow the arrangements of his parents.
However, in the chaotic and dark society, the people are caught in the depths of the water, living a miserable and inhumane life, and they have the Chen Geng of the homeland and the world in their hearts, and they cannot ignore this. Therefore, after a year of studying in the higher primary school, Chen Geng gave up his pen and left the school to join the army.
In 1922, Chen Geng became acquainted with Mao Zedong, who was carrying out revolutionary work in Hunan, and after being inspired by the ideas of communist revolution, he resolutely joined the revolutionary ranks. In the more than thirty years since then, no matter how difficult the revolutionary road is, Chen Geng has not given up his revolutionary beliefs and has always unswervingly participated in the revolutionary struggle.
The talent and talent of a military general possessed by Chen Geng was fully demonstrated in the revolutionary struggle. Whether facing the Kuomintang reactionaries or the ferocious Japanese invaders, Chen Geng was always able to deal with it with ease, always able to challenge tactics and repel the enemy according to the specific battle conditions. It has made tremendous contributions to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese nation.
Not only did Chen Geng himself make great contributions to the revolutionary cause, but his family also made important contributions to the revolutionary cause. General Chen Geng's two wives were also great revolutionaries. Among them, Chen Geng's first wife, Wang Genying, died heroically in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Wang Genying was a very great revolutionary fighter, and she began to participate in revolutionary work in 1924. After the defeat of the Great Revolution, Wang Genying accepted the organization's arrangement and went to Shanghai to carry out the work at the bottom. In the process, Wang Genying and Chen Geng became acquainted. And their relationship developed from revolutionary partners to marriage partners.
2. Chen Geng's wife Fu Ya
After getting married, Wang Genying has always insisted on being in the front line of revolutionary work, dedicating sweat and blood to revolutionary work, and finally even sacrificing his life. In 1939, the Japanese army sent troops to raid a base area of the Eighth Route Army. Wang Genying urgently organized the retreat of the masses and students.
However, Wang Genying was besieged by the enemy for returning to retrieve the confidential documents left in the office. In the end, Wang Genying, who was only thirty-three years old, died heroically. Wang Genying's sacrifice was a very important blow to Chen Geng. For a long time, Chen Geng fell into the grief of losing his beloved wife and could not get out.
Until 1943, under the introduction of the organization, Chen Geng and Fu Ya met and became partners. Fu Ya, born in 1918, was fifteen years younger than Chen Geng. Influenced by the ideas of the communist revolution, in 1937, Fu Ya came to Yan'an, the holy land of revolution.
Fu Ya had already heard of Chen Geng's famous name, and he also knew that Chen Geng and his wife Wang Genying had a deep affection for each other. When he heard the news of Wang Genying's sacrifice, Fu Ya felt very sorry. Therefore, when he learned that the organization wanted to match himself and Chen Geng, Fu Ya did not think much about it and agreed. So, in 1943, Fu Ya and Chen Geng, under the witness of the organization, married as a marriage partner.
Although there is a fifteen-year age gap between the two, this does not affect the marriage between the two. The married life of the two is very happy. Fu Ya bore Chen Geng a total of four children. The youngest son, Chen Zhifei, was born in 1959. However, just two years after the birth of his youngest son, General Chen Geng died of a myocardial infarction at the age of fifty-eight.
The death of General Chen Geng was a huge blow to the Chen family, and to Fu Ya, it was even more of a thunderbolt on a sunny day. At this time, her four children, all young and underage: the eldest was only sixteen years old, and the youngest was only two years old. Fu Ya was alone, shouldering the heavy responsibility of raising four children and educating them into talents.
3. Fu Ya went to Taiwan
Spending all his energy on the child allowed Fu Ya to temporarily forget other troubles. It wasn't until the children had grown up that Fu Ya had time to think about the things buried in his heart. During the war years, in order to escape the war, Fu Ya's parents and siblings moved to Taiwan to live. Only Fu Ya, who participated in the revolution in Yan'an, remained on the mainland.
Fu Ya had thought that after the war was over, he would bring back his parents and siblings. However, before Fu Ya could bring his family back, something changed. In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan with the remnants of the Kuomintang and established a regime in Taiwan to confront the mainland, which led to more than three decades of isolation between the two sides of the taiwan strait.
It wasn't until the 1980s that Fu Ya received letters from his family from Taiwan. Although he could not meet with his family in person, Fu Ya was already very satisfied to be able to learn the news of his family and learn that his family was doing well.
In 1992, cross-strait exchanges became more frequent. Many people can also go to the other side to visit their loved ones who have been separated for a long time. At this time, Fu Ya, who was already seventy-four years old, also made an application: "I want to go to Taiwan once." ”
Considering Fu Ya's physical condition, the children came to persuade her. Fu Ya was very adamant about her desire to go to Taiwan, and she said to her children, "Just let me go once." If I don't go this time, I may never go again, never see them again. Indeed, after all, Fu Ya and her family were already white-haired old men.
summary
In the end, the organization approved Fu Ya's application to go to Taiwan. In 1992, accompanied by his children, the seventy-four-year-old Fu Ya flew across the Taiwan Strait and set foot on taiwanese land, finally meeting his relatives who had been separated for more than forty years.
Many people with the same experience as Fu Ya were finally able to reunite with their loved ones after waiting for decades. However, there are also some people who have waited all their lives but have never been able to wait for the opportunity to reunite with their loved ones. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. People living in Taiwan are also sons and daughters of China. One day, Taiwan will be able to return to the motherland.
